PUTTING
SAFETY UP FRONT. WHERE YOU NEED IT.
Prevent
forklift roll-off and overhead door damage at your loading dock.
If avoiding accidents, minimizing downtime and reducing costly repairs
is a priority at your facility, the XDS - EXTRA DOCK SAFETY SERIES
from Blue Giant is the protection you need. A Blue Giant Dock Leveler
equipped with the DOOR & DOCK GUARD can greatly improve the
overall safety and efficiency of your loading dock area.
The DOOR & DOCK GUARD is designed to serve two purposes. The
raised safety guard protects forklifts from dangers of the "drop-zone"
when the overhead door is open and also acts a pallet stop to guard
overhead door panels and tracks from regular impact damage when
the door is closed.
Built to withstand forklift impact, the guard has been tested to
stop 10,000 lbs. rolling loads at speeds up to 4 MPH. When the highly
visible guard is in the upright position, the added ANSI approved
yellow safety striping provides a visual warning to the forklift
operator to stay clear. Plus, the guard is mounted 22" from
the face of the deck plate. Why? In addition to protecting the overhead
door and tracks when the door is closed, this position provides
an extra margin of safety from the "drop-zone," unlike
protective barriers positioned right at the edge of the dock.
The guard is automatically activated when the dock is in or returned
to the cross-traffic position and deactivated automatically during
the dock cycle or when the dock is in use. A supervisor key switch
override with warning light, located on the dock leveler master
panel, allows the dock attendant to temporarily override the barrier
for hand bombing cargo - a usual requirement when small delivery
vans are present. When the dock leveler is in use, the guard lies
flat or flush with the deck surface. This allows smooth, unobstructed
flow of traffic during load transfers. Whether the dock leveler
is servicing trucks above or below level, the guard is out of the
way. This is especially critical when tail or end loading is required
- a Blue GiantŪ advantage over other systems that prevent the forklift
from lowering pallets right at the edge of the dock onto the back
of the tractor-trailer.
The DOOR & DOCK GUARD is standard on the Blue GiantŪ XDSŪ -
EXTRA DOCK SAFETY SERIES , featuring the 'A' series fully- hydraulic
I-beam dock leveler. This allows you to obtain all the benefits
of the DOOR & DOCK GUARD while selecting the right dock leveler
for your operation. For added protection from the other side of
the "drop-zone", you can also incorporate a Blue GiantŪ
'TL85' Safety Vehicle Restraint to prevent trailer creep and unscheduled
truck departures. The ultimate and most complete extra dock-safety
package.
The DOOR & DOCK GUARD from Blue GiantŪ. What you want. When
you want it. Where you need it most!
